Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

| Ran from work to gym, and jumped on the paved River Trail along the way. Golden Mile splits were 5:42 and 5:48 (6:16 and 6:22/mile pace). Did 30 minutes on elliptical, lifted, and stretched. Ran back to office via Providence and River Heights, slower pace. Warm today, short sleeves weather. I've been having fun blogging about general training, races, product reviews, etc. The opinionated stuff. I decided to migrate these non-"training log" entries to a more robust blog on my website that will accomodate pictures, RSS feeds, .html editing, better layouts, etc. I've set up the blog to also have RSS feeds of running news and training articles, which will be updated daily, so I hope for it to be a good news source. New blogs will be posted whenever I feel like it, probably weekly or bi-weekly. I may be recruiting other writers in the near future too. Check it out! http://marathongis.com/blog Of course, I will still continue blogging my daily entries here too, because Sasha has created such a great running log! | | Add Comment |

| Ran a big loop up to North Logan and back. I took a lot of mile splits (thank you, Utah grid system), and they were all in the 6:45/mile range. Rather miserable day here, damp and light snow.

| Put on the ol' reflective vest and ran to the gym early in the morning. Did 30 minutes on the elliptical, lifted, and stretched. Ran home from the gym via the TOU course, and then jogged half a mile with the dog. Easy pace. | | Add Comment |

I have done some work on my new "Marathons and Maps" blog, so check out the updates. Most of the blog entries up to this point are updated off of this blog, but I've done some text edits and added some pictures and hyperlinks where appropriate. I've also linked the blog with Feedburner, so people can "subscribe" using RSS feeds, and receive the blog in their email or favorite news reader. Once I get the backlog from the fastrunning blog on there, I will start writing new entries. | | Comments(14) |

| Close to 50 degrees at 6AM this morning. It's supposed to get cold again tomorrow. But I'll enjoy it for now!
Did a Landfill Loop from work, with 3 miles at brisk pace (6:10-6:15/mile). Non-"brisk" miles were in the 6:45-7:00/mile range, so still a good clip. Finished out the run by going to a friend's house and eating pancakes to replenish the calories, then ran back to work.
Evening: went to the gym and did 30 minutes on elliptical, lifted, did core strength, and stretched. Weighed in at 132 lbs. New chin-up PR: 15.
**I have written a new blog post titled Lamentation of the Cotton T-Shirt. | | Comments(2) |

| Ran the Providence Hill Loop with Cody. We averaged right around 7:00/mile pace for the entire run, with 6:35-6:45 pace on the faster parts, balanced out by some 7:30s on the big hills. I felt very good overall.
48 miles running for this week, the same scheduled for next week. | | Add Comment |
